In the next following 6 months, Social Point is sponsoring a networking event called Betabeers, which right now is being held in 19 cities in Spain, including Barcelona. Once a month, Betabeers organizes technical talks for web, mobile and hardware developers. It’s a perfect place for startups to present their projects and take advantage of networking.
We, in Social Point, believe in bringing many intelligent professionals together since it’s a way to promote knowledge and enhance personal and professional growth.

For the eighth time in a row, Barcelona has been chosen to host the year’s Mobile World Congress. The congress is rated the world’s largest and currently Barcelona is regarded as the Mobile World Capital.

The event, that started yesterday, takes place at the Fira Gran Via and will last until February 28. Barcelona was chosen again to host the event since it is considered a city full of opportunities.

An (extra)ordinary Friday evening at Social Point!
It’s a tradition that on Friday night we gather, laugh and drink some beers, but this Friday was a bit different and a bit bigger of an event!
It all started with a typical party dinner- burgers, chips, french fries, beer and once our tummies were full it was time for the comedian to step on the stage.

It is great when business and universities come together to combine knowledge and practice!
Manel Tso, a young socialpointer, gave a presentation in front of academic figures in the university where he was recently graduated.

Professors, who are preparing for the next year classes, were exited to hear from their ex-alumni good practices in the process of creation of social games.Manel revealed helpful practices in game concept design, balancing, team creation etc. and also shared what type of knowledge he gained in the university was actually helpful when he went out in real life to work in the field of social games.

What an amazing night we spent last Friday!
Social Point office became a huge game room where Games Night was celebrated. Thanks to HR it was an evening full of laughter, jokes, food and fun.

We played several games and did fun activities. While some of us were playing poker, others preferred ping pong or just chatting with a beer in the hand. Among all activities done along the evening the star game of the night was the Pictionary.

Social Point CEOs have been invited to Hamburg to participate in the Casual Connect, an Association of Casual Games where professionals from the industry gather together once a year. The conference is a perfect place for networking, getting to know great professionals and learning from each other.
Horacio Martos and Andrés Bou are giving a lecture today about the Cross-platform Experience Challenge from Facebook to mobile platforms. In the presentation, both founders reveal key factors for benefiting from cross-platforms experience, reaching higher user engagement and improving monetization.

Yesterday @ First Tuesday event in Barcelona, took place the discussion board with Andrés Bou and Horacio Martos, founders of Social Point. The forum was moderated by Carlos Blanco, entrepreneur and investor who has been closely following the evolution of Social Point.
Andrés and Horacio explained their experience as CEOs of the company. Furthermore, they gave an inside of how the company was created and where the business idea came from.
Both participants reviewed the beginnings of Social Point, the difficulties they faced along the way, the changes they had to make, failures and successes, and one of the most important things- how they closed successfully three funding rounds.
Making Social Point a prosperous social company hasn’t been easy, Andrés and Horacio said, but gradually they started getting very positive results that allowed them to hire more employees. Since then, the founders realized one thing: “When talented people gather together, magical things happen”.

Next Tuesday February 5 our Social Point CEOs, Horacio Martos and Andrés Bou, will be attending First Tuesday, that is going to be held at the completely refurbished Moritz Factory in Barcelona at 19:30. The forum is hosted by Carlos Blanco, entrepreneur & BA, very interested in Social Games and Akamon Entertainment founder. The event, which is sponsored by Arsys and Moritz, will be moderated by Blanco.
First Tuesday is a non-profit association that organizes Networking events between entrepreneurs and investors in Barcelona. These events are important for both sides looking for answers within the experiences of other entrepreneurs.
